Chapter 444 Divorce Elias
“I wasn’t monitoring you. I was just curious if Elias would come pick you up. Although I’ve been watching you for a few d
every day.
days, I always just see you going to and from work alone
“Just as I expected, that fella is only after your inheritance. He doesn’t even bother to pretend.” Beathan tapped his fingers happily on his glass.
Ashley couldn’t understand what he was so pleased about
Was he happy that her new partner wasn’t as good as he was? Was he glad that she might regret breaking up with him because of that? It seemed that regardless of their status, all men had the same flaw
Ashley took the beef skewer the chef handed her.
She sniffed it first to ensure it didn’t make her feel nauseated before taking a hite. “When we were together, you also didn’t pick me up from work every day either. How can you say he’s after my inheritance solely based on that?”
“If he wasn’t after your inheritance, why would he marry you when he has so many young and beautiful women around him? You’re four ryears older than him. Men always go for younger women. And you probably don’t know this, but he hasn’t ended things with those women.
“While you were at work over the New Year, he was out late with one of them. Photos of him hugging a girl in a bikini were circulating on my social media feed” Beathan just wanted to tell her how much better he was compared to Bas
The beef skewer was a bit salty, so Ashley took another sip of beer.
She then retorted, “You’re saying that as if you didn’t cheat? Didn’t I catch you in bed with another woman?”
The chef, who had been listening in for a while, glanced at them. Despite both of them appearing rather sophisticated, their relationship was a complete mess.
Beathan was upset that his ugly past had been brought up, and he furrowed his brows. “I already explained that to you. I was upset and drunk when we fought, and she came onto

“So you were upset twice? You got drunk and cheated twice?” Ashley chuckled.
She continued, “Beathan, I caught you twice. Who knows how many other times there were? Finding one cockroach means there’s a nest. You say you were drunk, but what if this were a criminal case? If your client committed a crime while drunk, could you get them acquitted, Mr. Collins?”
That would be extremely tough as the law wouldn’t excuse a person’s criminal behavior just because they were intoxicated, judgment would still be executed.
Displeasure tainted Beathan’s handsome features.
After Ashley ate a few more skewers, he finally admitted with a wry smile, “Yeah, I gave in to teraptation. I wanted something different. I was feeling a bit bored after seven years.”
He was bored what an honest statement.
Ashley nodded. At least he admitted it, which was more than could be said for some people. Beathan still had a shred of decency lett.
“So now you’ve cried others and decided I’m the best, and you want to get back together?” Ashley dabbed her mouth with a napkin. “Well, that’s not out of the question.”
Hearing that, the young chef’s hand slipped, and he spilled seasoning on his shoes.
He stared at Ashley in bewilderment.
From his third–party perspective, it seemed like Beathan was the one desperately trying, while Ashley remained calm and in control. He had thought that Ashley wouldn’t bat an eye regardless of how Beathan begged.
Hence, he never expected to hear her say that
However, Beathan didn’t get excited immediately
He had been with her for many years, so he knew her well enough to know it wouldn’t be that simple. “Do you have any conditions?”
Ashley was clad in a beige turtleneck.
She leaned back in her chair. “You could be our unicorn.”
Beathan knew she would say something like that.
He loosened his tie and said, “What I mean is that you should divorce Elias,”
Ashley raised an eyebrow. “And marry you? So you can also go after my inheritance?
Beathan tried to explain himself. “I’m not after-”
Ashley interrupted him with a scold. “You’re both after my inheritance, and you’re both scumbags, but at least Elias is young. You missed out something earlier. It’s not just men who prefer younger partners–women do too.
* is young and good looking, and I’m not tired of him yet. You, on the other hand, are old and boring. I’d have to be out of my mind to reconcile with you. What makes you think that just because you change your mind, I’ll be waiting for you, Mr. Collins
